L’analisi dei bisogni (e risorse) di conciliazione in azienda: elemento chiave per la realizzazione di buone pratiche

[Autom. eng. transl.] From an initial analysis of the corporate and sociological literature, it can be seen that the conciliation measures are considered as win-win initiatives, capable of generating greater benefits than costs, both for the company and for stakeholders. Nevertheless, on the business side, the considerations to be made are more articulated, both in the identification of the costs connected to the implementation of a conciliation policy, and in the evaluation of the benefits achieved, whose precise determination is often difficult. The problem, however, is not only located at the end of the evaluation process, but at the origin, or rather in the lack of an evaluation culture that can trace a precise picture of the company context and, therefore, measure the impact of the realized interventions; a further element of problematic nature can also be seen in a strategic point of the business process, namely the meeting between the employees' conciliation needs and the methods concretely designated by the company to meet the aforementioned needs. In this framework, this paper intends to deepen a crucial point of the planning and implementation of conciliation measures: the workers' conciliation needs and the judgment given by them about the company conciliation measures; to this end, some empirical evidences of a recent national survey carried out, with a qualitative and qualitative methodology, by the National Family Observatory are presented.
